CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Nicolas Maduro's government backtracked on an
order that gave U.S. Embassy personnel 72 hours to leave Venezuela,
defusing tensions between the countries just hours after their top
diplomats traded heated rhetoric at a special U.N. Security Council
meeting to address the South American country's crisis.

Maduro broke relations with the United States on Wednesday after the
Trump administration recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president, a move the embattled socialist described as a "vile" coup
attempt.

Maduro gave American diplomats three days to leave the country, but the
Trump administration refused to obey his order, arguing that the leftist
leader was no longer Venezuela's legitimate president. That set the
stage for a potentially violent showdown at the hilltop Embassy compound
on Saturday night, when the deadline was to expire.
